Building on the momentum of our most recent Summit and Annual Meeting theme, Cooperative Connections, Wisconsin Co-op Day at the Capitol brings that spirit to life by uniting cooperative leaders, members, and advocates to strengthen relationships and elevate our shared voice.
This day is more than a gathering — it’s an opportunity to connect directly with policymakers, showcase the impact of cooperatives, and work together to shape a stronger future for our communities.
When cooperatives come together, we create shared strength, spark new opportunities, and demonstrate the power of collaboration.
Join us as we turn connection into action and ensure the cooperative voice is heard where it matters most.
Please contact Dawn Bausch, Chief Administrative Officer, at dawn@cooperativenetwork.coop or (608) 258-4390 for registration information.
